Show notes

“Today if you go to a supermarket and buy normal salad vegetables, I am talking about lettuces, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, all the salad crops, none of them are grown in the soil anymore! They are all grown hydroponically (hydroponics is the science of growing plants without using soil) in this rockwool, or equivalent.” Is mass production of food and modern-day farming methods starving us of good nutrition? Your host of Fat & Furious, Steve Bennett and founder of The Sustainable Food Trust, Patrick Holden shed light on the damaging consequence of poor nutrition.

Show notes

"Natural fats are not the enemy. We have demonised and vilified the good guy for more than 50 years, and all the while the sickly-sweet kid has been getting away with murder!" Dr Dan Maggs, 2019 Are doctors and health professionals alike spreading a misinformed message around eating a ‘balance diet’ for good health?

Thankfully, a chance encounter while on holiday in 2016 led to him discovering the power of a primal diet, built around a lo

Show notes

‘We do know that milk causes cancer cells to grow, obviously not a problem for the very young as they are meant to drink milk. What concerns me, and the logic is very strong, but the hard evidence is not quite there yet, but what milk does is it promotes a hormone called IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor.’ In this fascinating episode of Fat & Furious, your host Steve Bennett & leading nutrition expert, Patrick Holford discuss the role suboptimum nutrition plays in our overall health.

Show notes

“Insulin is kind of a boss hormone. Insulin is designed to get rid of sugar because sugar in the blood is dangerous. So, in a sugary environment, insulin switches off your ability to burn fat. Our body is like a hybrid car. It can either burn sugar or fat, but not at the same time.” Twitter - @lowcarbGP “David is a GP in Southport, where he has been practising for over 30 years. During that time, he has become fascinated by how people can become really healthy without using medication. In 2016 David was bestowed the NHS Innovator of the Year award. He is Ambassador for the all-party Parliamentary Group on Diabetes, the Senior Medical Advisor to www.diabetes.co.uk, who have helped over 50,000 people put their diabetes in remission and is a founding member of The Public Health Collaboration. David says that one of the things he enjoys most is helping patients make lifestyle changes in order to make it possible to deprescribe their medication.”
